Periodically I test ammo for penetration for the guns that I carry. My tests are not scientific and only show penetration relative to the other rounds that I fired.
Today I tested four types of Hyper velocity .22LR ammo.
The revolver I used was a NAA 22MAG with a .22LR cylinder with 15/8 in barrel.
The medium I was shooting at was a piece of kiln dried oak four inches thick 10 feet away.
The ammo was
CCI Stinger, 32gn plated HP, adv. velocity 1640fps
CCI Copper, 21gn copper/polymer, adv. velocity 1850fps
CCI Mini Mag, 40g plated RN, adv. velocity 1235fps
Aguilla Interceptor, 40gn plated TC, adv. velocity 1470fps
Penetration
Mini Mag 1.5 inch
Agullia 1.5/16 inch
CCI Copper 15/16 inch
CCI Stinger 3/4 inch
Another round of slow fire off hand gave me a 2 inch group at 10 feet. Not bad for a really small revolver.
